Since 2002, the training sector develops the training program within the framework of the International Hydrological Program (IHP) of UNESCO.

The training sector developed its strategy for the period 2008-2013, which was formulated in accordance with the UNESCO IHP-VII strategic objectives.

The strategy included a number of objectives in the areas of curriculum development, training courses, workshops and seminars, and quality assurance.

Working under the auspices of UNESCO encouraged the international governmental and non-governmental entities as well as the UNESCO member states to raise financial and technical assistance and to propose proper projects to the training sector.

In October 2014, the training sector has got a preliminary approval concerning the renewal of the agreement between Egypt and the UNSECO for the Regional Training Sector to work under the auspices of UNESCO IHP-VIII.
